Delegates were greeted with this statement in pamph- let form: This is Independence Hall, in Phil- adelphia's h i st o r i c Independence Square. This is the birthplace of Amer- ican freedom. This is the shrine of American patriotism. This is the home of the Liberty Bell, This is the noblest, most eloquent, most ven- erated monument to Free Govern- ment on Earth today. WALK PROUDLY HERE, AMER- ICANS, AMID THE SYMBOLS OF YOUR BIRTHRIGHT! Greece in its glory, Rome in its grandeur, left no such heritage to the human spirit. The Pyramids of the Pharaohs, the Capitoline Hill of the Caesars, had no such noble significance. For here stands the historic structure where, in 1776, your liberty was first pro- claimed; where, in 1787, government of the people, by the people, for the people was made certain and endur- ing. For in historic Independence Hall were adopted the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and the CON- STITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. In historic Independence Hall were uttered immortal words that still echo in the hearts of men; that still in- spire and exalt the cause of human liberty. Here Richard Henry Lee, in the Virginia Resolutions, first declared that 'these United Colonies are and of right ought to be, free and inde- pendent States.' Here Thomas Jefferson, in the Declaration of Independence, pro- claimed that 'all men are created equal.' Here Benjamin Franklin asserted that 'the rulers are the servants, and the people their sovereigns.' Here the Constitutional Conven- tion determined that 'We, the people of the United States,' should govern. Here our Nation received its name; here the founders adopted our Flag; here the Continental Congress commissioned George Washington Commander-in-Chief of the Revolu- tionary armies; here it received the captured British standards that sig- nalized our epoch-making history. An outline of the business sessions of the Convention will be given in the next issue. The entertainment provided by the Philadelphia Bar Association was of the very highest character. The trip to Longwood Gardens Country Estate of the Dupont family was a memor- able one. Electrically illuminated fountains astonished the delegates at the grandeur of the spectacle. A bal!et given in the open air theater was as good a performance as may be seen on any stage in America. The costumes, all designed by Miss Montgomery, a Philadelphia woman, who is the director of the Ballet, were especially attractive. The dancing rivaled that seen here in Cleveland on the appearances of the ballet of the New York Metropolitan Orches- tra. The Philadelphia orchestra, which by the way will appear here this win- ter, gave a performance Wednesday evening and won an ovation from the delegates. A brilliant address was given by Mr. Leonard W. Brockington, K.C., LL.D., representative of the Canadian Bar Arsociation. He spoke of Can- ada's cooperation with the Empire to win the war and the importance of the appointment of a joint com- mission on defense by the American and Canadian governments. He was given an ovation at the conclusion of his address. Dean Roscoe Pound, law educator of international reputation, was given an American Bar Association medal for out-tanding service by an indi- vidual lawyer. Hon. George Wharton Pepper who has been practicing at the Bar more than fifty years, inspired all who heard him with his exposition of American principles of government which have been the policy here until recent years. This was an unusual address and we recommend that it be read when it is published in the (Continued on Page 16) [GRANGER FACTORY SPACE BROKER 25 wears peCIalizing In Selling, L-easing and Appraising Industrili and Commercial Properties. 310 Hipp. Bldg.
